I installed Kali linux from a usb stick which caused some issues.
In order for for the below commands to work on my installation of kali linux i first had to follow this guide (https://stackoverflow.com/a/61695922)
and then utilized the below commands to get my asus PCE-AC68 wireless adapter (Broadcom BCM4360 ) to work properly. Thank you so much!

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms
modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma
